Palestinian and Japanese Solidarity Workshop
Join Workshops4Gaza and Dr. Jeremy Randall for an online workshop on Palestinian and Japanese solidarity!
This workshop will explore the rise of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) as the premier Marxist-Leninist faction within the Palestine liberation movement during the 1960s and 1970s, particularly their alliance with the Japanese Red Army (JRA). We will discuss how and why a Japanese student group chose to ally themselves with the PFLP and fight for the liberation of Palestine to a degree not seen by other non-Arab movements.
Jeremy Randall will also discuss his research on the history of shared actions between the PFLP and the JRA and how this created a new paradigm for Palestine liberation, while also challenging more moderate factions of the movement.
This workshop will be held online from 6-8 pm EST, August 27.
